Mangave Mad About Mangave ‘Pineapple Express’

Mangave ‘Pineapple Express,’ a member of the MAD ABOUT MANGAVE collection, and a succulent herbaceous tender perennial, is prized for its exceptional spiky rosette of long, stiff, slender foliage that artfully resembles the top of a pineapple. The medium green leaves are adorned with heavy burgundy speckling, cinnamon spines on the margins and tips, and a waxy coating, presenting a mint-green finish that adds to its allure.

Mangave, born from the intergeneric cross of Manfreda x Agave, seamlessly combines the superior growth rate and fascinating patterns of Manfreda with the refined habit of Agave. ‘Pineapple Express’ grows at a moderate rate and matures into a compact plant that makes an outstanding specimen in a small-space garden. It shines in rock, alpine, and waterwise gardens as well as in xeriscapes. Beyond its garden prowess, this mangave excels as a container plant, suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings. F
